of a circuit we can replace large signal device models with corresponding small signal device models and then analyze the resulting small signal circuit Foundations Also see section 8 2 1 of A L KVL KCL applied to some circuit C yields v A vOUT vB 1 Replace total variables with operating point variables plus small signal variables VA v a VOUT vout VB vb Operating point variables themselves satisfy the same KVL KCL equations VA VOUT VB so we can cancel them out Leaving va vout vb 2 But 2 is the same equation as 1 with small signal variables replacing total variables so 2 must reflect same topology as in C except that small signal models are used Since small signal models are linear our linear tools will now apply Cite as Anant Agarwal and Jeffrey Lang course materials for 6 002
